It’s getting drafty

Maxim Kitsyn, the Kings’ sixth-round draft pick last week, was part of another draft today. The OHL’s Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors acquired Kitsyn’s rights during the CHL import draft. As written last week, Kitsyn is still under contract to his KHL team, but Kitsyn’s agent said he will attempt to get Kitsyn out of that contract before the end of this year, as Kitsyn wants to play junior hockey in North America and the Kings would prefer to have him here as well. Kitsyn is expected to participate in this week’s developmental camp.
